Jason Haeger is a coffee professional working to bring quality coffee
to Lubbock, Texas. A transplant from AZ, he is in a unique position to
draw a comparison between the similarities of the growing coffee scene
between TX and AZ.
By now, most of us have had ample exposure to what is known as
Specialty Coffee to understand that it is quite different than the
standard generic store-bought variety one would find on the shelves of
your local supermarket. Maybe it’s the atmosphere. Maybe it’s the cost.
Maybe it’s the culture. Whatever the reason, America has been bitten by
the Specialty Coffee bug, and we’re consuming it, literally, by the
ton.

Story and Photos by Mathew Hill

 Do you have a favorite coffee memory? One that a particularly
good cup of coffee makes memorable? Are you thankful that the
coffee beans that went into that cup were picked out from all
the other coffee beans in the world, roasted to the perfect color,
and brewed to grace your cup and palate with such sweet flavors
and aromas that they still defy description? Can you still taste
that cup?
Well, if you have you ever wondered how that memorable cup of
coffee came to be, it’s a certainty that the cupping of
that coffee was an integral part of the story that brought it
to your cup. Cupping is not only fundamental to ensuring quality
and consistency in the final roasted product, but it is also
a valuable methodology in the initial steps of differentiating
specific coffee beans from all other possible beans and determining
the characteristics that each coffee possesses.
